It looks as if they will only go after it if he wins.

That way the Chineese government gets back, in its ban, whatever money its construction company has to pay.

Economist says...

Any cruise line will ruin Harbour Island's economy. They will scare away the very people who contribute to Harbour Island's success.

“from the largest, most modern solar field” in the country."

That wouldn't be hard. How many large solar fields do we have in the country?

Oh, that's right, Ragged Island!

Economist says...

" which is set to roll out next week,"

Hold on, didn't the vaccine arrive on Wednesday? Why did "the Committee" not have a plan in place when the vacine arrived? They knew that the product was arriving.

Now you have to wonder what power failures of breakdown of refridgerators will cause some or much of the vaccine to be rendered useless by the time it is give out.

Must be a Civil Servants committeee.

Economist says...

you clearly have not been dealing with immigration. I have personally seen them lose one persons application 3 times, screwed up another, tried to trick another into making a further application which would have been out of time thus disenfranchising them and so on.

"Carnival Cruise Line executives have told Tribune Business none of their ships were involved in causing damage to the seabed while at anchor off the Berry Islands."

Absolutely correct. We have a very inefficient and lazy civil service. Look at the article on the citizen application, for example.

Customs, Works, Health (big money waster, about 125 million a year)

Clean up the waste and then we can discuss tax.

This is standard procedure for Immigration. Number One for them is that they can't find your application.
They take great joy in making people suffer.
Their Directors probably actively encourage this type of opressive operation. It must give them a power kick..
Time to take them to court.
Sadly, no one will be repremanded which means that the Prime Minister probably approves this as well. He must know, like everyone else, that this is a daily occurance.

First sentence says it all. "If", that's correct, "if".

No sense in wasting time until the order is complete and the docks are on the way.

Economist says...

We need to focus on encouraging the high end cruiselines and discourage the garbage Carnival cruises. Carnival's passengers never have spent any money in any event. What money they have Carnival sucks up on the ship.

Bay Street once had high end shops and nice restaurants until the cheap cruise line passenger masses scared off the money spending hotel tourists.

Bermuda has been much more selective when it comes to cruise lines. We could learn something from Bermuda.
